Odette if u r really worried about calculus the best book i've come across so far is "calculus for dummies", it's simple, it's light-hearted, and it's actually quite humurous (YES< in a CALCULUS book!!! <_<")

Speaking of what to read, does anyone know of any books about calculus or anything similar? I'm a little worried ^_^ thanks

"How to ace Calculus" and "How to ace the rest of Calculus" are pretty good. No problems sets, but lots of examples, basically a revision book with humour.
